[#1405]Graphics glitch on Colossus Vanguard - dock very dark with reflection probes on any setting - Fix in 6.20 b6.

Post by |-|Mohawk|-| » Mon, 31. Jul 23, 05:47

I'm experiencing a strange graphics glitch on the Colossus Vanguard. The S dock area is almost completely dark. I've attached some screenshots (one on the dock, and one from the bridge). I have not seen this before, and I've been playing the game for some time. When the game first loads the dock is rendered correctly, but then after a second it goes dark, like it's missing all lighting. Anyone else have this problem? I've experimented with the graphics settings but nothing seems to fix it.

I'm running the latest 6.20 public beta 5. My graphics settings are everything on ultra except for volumetric fog, which is off, and MSAA 4x. I have an RTX 3080 running an ultrawide monitor at 3440x1440.

Do you have shadows enabled?

You would be best posting some information such as links to a very recent DxDiag, Vulkaninfo and your config.xml, and to a vanilla save that shows the issue happening. The devs cannot diagnose from a screenshot.

Here's a link to save, config, and dxdiag files. I don't know what Vulkaninfo is. Yes, shadows are on. All graphics settings are on the ultra preset (except for volumetric fog, which is off). Changing graphics settings doesn't seem to affect the problem, though.

I'll rephrase, is shadows one of the settings you toggled to see if it changed things? The link I gave you also links to how to get Vulkaninfo.

The DxDiag looks OK but you do seem to be having a few issues with your XBox Gaming Overlay - if you use it with X4.

Ah, I see what you're asking. I'll experiment with the shadows settings.

Also I uploaded the vulkaninfo to that Drive folder.

I'm guessing the XBox Gaming Overlay is related to the XBox Gaming Bar? I do use that sometimes, though not with X4.

OK after further experimentation the shadows settings don't seem to affect/solve the glitch.

Found the problem. It's the reflection probes setting. If I turn that off the dock becomes visible again.
